Well, the Pacers know already that Lance is capable of playing SG. So, I believe they will continue giving him minutes at PG so that he is able to cover both positions.

Besides, AJ is out, and if we dump Ford, we will need someone to cover PG until AJ returns. Seems to me like it would be better to use Lance than to go out and get another PG to back up Collison. That would mean we would have to dump a second player to open up a roster spot for a backup PG.

You're right...he's a SG/SF. Before signing with the Hornets, Posey was the good luck charm for Teams. When he went to Miami, the Heat won a Championship. When he went to the Celtics, they won a Championship. Of course, I guess that trading for Shaq ( for the Heat ) and then the Celtics trading for KG/Allen makes a huge difference.

If he still has some gas in his tank...my guess is that JO'B will play Posey ( specifically a Vet that can still hit the 3pt shot and shows some inkling for perimeter defense ) behind Granger/Dunleavy/BRush in the SG/SF rotation.

I always wanted Posey on the Pacers....too bad it's 3 or 4 years too late.

Posey actually played the 4-spot quite a bit with the Celtics during their championship season... especially when they went small late in games (Rondo, Allen, Pierce, Posey, KG)

Between Price and Collison, the Pacers most likely have their answer at PG. And buying out TJ means that these two will get to play. My only concern is this current offense with Collison's tendencies. But we won't have Jimmy much longer, and as other's said, if we're smart, we'll run a PnR offense.

Lance can play his actual position.

This trade seems rather dumb from NO's persepective though. They know they are more than likely losing Paul, right?

With Troy gone adding Rolle for depth is much more important than keeping TJ inactive like last year... (remember JOB's philosophy, for TJ, meaningful min. or none at all, so if Collison Starts and they want Lance and AJ to develop, where does that leave TJ? Yep in a suit.)

lol what people can't focus at work over this... yes exciting that we got a trade for a young pg, but it's not like we got chris paul, or rondo, this is a second year player who we haven't even seen play in our system yet, and we are also taking on posey....

Honestly I was more excited draft night. and IMO I still feel Lance and Paul have more upside than Collison I don't really see him growing that much from where he is now....

Losing Paul when? He's under contract for two more years. He's not going anywhere.
